1.	In Carius method, 0.1890 g of an organic compound gave 0.2870 of silver chloride. Calculate the percentage of chlorine in the compound
Answer» SOLUTION :WEIGHT of SUBSTANCE = 0.1890g Weight of silver CHLORIDE = 0.2870g % of chlorine `= ("Weight of " AgCl xx 35.5 xx 100)/("weight of substance " xx 143.5) = (0.2870 xx 35.5 xx 100)/(0.1890 xx 143.5) = 37.8`
